What is the "Brain Break" that the second grade takes each week? We use this time to work on skills that tend to be a problem during recess. We practice using kind words, handling disagreements, appropriately, taking turns, and problem solving. Recently we have been learning different games that promote teamwork. We played Blob Tag last week. Each time a person is tagged, they join hands with the tagger. The group of taggers grows each time they tag someone new. As the "blob" gets bigger, it becomes more important to communicate with the rest of the group so that the "blob" can move around and tag the next person. We talked about how to decide as a group the direction that the "blob" would move and decide who to tag next.
